ACP survey on draw offers
In recent years our game experienced quite a few innovations such as:
- change of the classical time control
- new system for the World Championship Cycle
- anti-doping control
- anti-electronic devices control
One more very important issue has been raised recently after the high level
tournaments in Corsica and in Sofia: combatting short draws. Short draws cause
frequent complaints from the organizers and disappointment for the public.
All this was subject to discussion among the ACP Board recently. We, therefore,
decided to make a poll in order to find out your vision of the problem. We would
like to thank everybody who has already taken part in it. As the issue is very
important, the deadline for sending back the completed survey has been extended
to the 5th of March 2007.
ACP Members as well as all chess players having the FIDE title of International
Master (IM or WIM) or International Grandmaster (GM or WGM) are kindly invited
to take part in this poll. Please express your opinion! The last day to vote
is the 5th of March 2007.
